Chapter 7 Where are you going?
The white sky rises in the east, and the golden key opens in the morning.
Wen Baijing stood in front of the French window in his office, lost in thought. He always felt a warm breath brushing across his cheeks and sweeping across his heart.
"What are you looking at?" Lu Yu, the vice president and good brother, poked his head out and curiously followed Wen Baijing's gaze to look out the window.
Wen Baijing glanced at him coldly, walked to the desk, and looked at him with his arms folded.
Lu Yu couldn't help but hold back his laughter, "You have come to this day! In the past, we were the ones who took care of it. Do you feel okay accompanying guests alone?"
Wen Baijing was still angry and kept his lips tightly closed.
Lu Yu smiled and walked to Wen Baijing, putting his hand on his shoulder, "Okay! I won't do this again in the future! Master Wen, can you please not be so aloof?"
Wen Baijing pushed Lu Yu's arm away with disdain, and said slowly: "If you do this again in the future, I will deduct your salary! Deduct your performance! Deduct your meal allowance! Deduct your talk allowance..."
Lu Yu interrupted him hurriedly, looking heartbroken, "Stop! Master Wen, you really don't intend to leave me a way out!"
Wen Baijing sneered, picked up his phone and walked out of the office, "Accompany me to inspect the store!"
"I was there yesterday. You really treat workers like beasts of burden!" Lu Yu followed Wen Hou and complained, gritting his teeth, "Capitalists!"
Zhichu has settled in three mid-to-high-end shopping malls in Yuncheng, one is to serve as a company image store display, and the other is to occupy market share and facilitate purchases by surrounding customers.
The weekly store inspections are not for the purpose of formalism, but to understand the mall’s customer flow, the situation of competing products, and analyze consumer preferences.
This job is not just a simple walk around. You need to observe the visit rate and purchase rate of each store on the women's clothing floor, analyze the display of competing products, the style and frequency of new products, store activities, etc. On-site and intuitive inspections are as important as analyzing the month-on-month and year-on-year data.
After going to three shopping malls, I wasn’t too tired, but my brain, eyes and feet couldn’t stop working at all.
That's why Lu Yu was complaining so much. He had just gone through this on Monday, and now it happened again on Tuesday. He could only secretly hate his father for not living up to his expectations and not allowing him to live an idle and salted fish life.
Wen Baijing and Lu Yu appeared on the women's clothing floor on the second floor of the mall, frequently attracting the attention of passing women.
"Look, those two long-legged handsome guys!"
"The guy in the white shirt is so handsome!"
"I think people wearing black shirts look more elegant!"
Wen and Lu looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Such scenes were nothing new to them.
"People say I'm more handsome than you!" Lu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, straightened the collar of his white shirt, and his tone became much brighter.
Wen Baijing looked at him with disdain and shook his head helplessly.
"what!"
A young woman with a blushing face fell into Wen Baijing's arms. She was embarrassed and gritted her teeth at her best friend who was not far away. The best friend kept winking at the girl, looking a little proud.
The girl's actions attracted people who were shopping around to stop and watch. The scene of the beautiful girl flirting with the handsome guy aroused the crowd's love of watching fun.
Wen Baijing's face showed a chill, he frowned slightly, raised his hands to block in front of him, and hurriedly took two steps back.
The girl gritted her teeth and looked at Wen and Lu with anticipation.
"Two handsome guys... can you add me on WeChat?"
"It's not convenient!" Wen Baijing refused coldly. He felt disgusted by such a conversation, so he turned and left.
Lu Yu looked at Wen's angry back and couldn't help laughing, then hurriedly caught up with him.
"Hey! Do you have any unspeakable secrets? Or are you planning to quit sex and become a monk? You're not still waiting for someone, are you?" Lu Yu glanced at Wen Baijing's pants, looking gossipy.
"Are you really too idle? Mr. Lu! Do you want me to give you more work?" Wen Baijing's eyes were gloomy and his tone was stiff.
Lu Yu shut up instantly and followed Wen Baijing obediently.
When he arrived at the door of his own brand, Wen Baijing did not enter the store, but just glanced inside.
The employees in the store straightened their appearance and became very alert. The employees who had just taken out their mobile phones quickly put them back in their pockets.
The new employees in the store don’t know Wen and Lu, but the old employees all know them and are afraid of this stern boss from the bottom of their hearts.
After the store inspection, Lu Yu stayed in Wen Baijing's office, saying that his feet hurt from walking too much, and asked Wen Baijing to treat him to a foot massage.
Wen Baijing was too lazy to pay attention to him and just drank his coffee.
The two analyzed Shen Guangtou's matter.
Regional manager Wang Yan followed up on the matter of You Province replacing agent Shen Guangtou. There has been no movement in the past two days. Since the decision has been made to change, the sooner the better.
Although Guangtou Shen has many franchisees, the franchisees recognize the Zhichu brand. Once the new provincial agent is determined, these franchisees will be transferred to the new provincial agent for unified management.
From a business perspective, this is no loss for Zhichu and the franchisees. But it has a big impact on Shen Guangtou. The franchisees he has worked so hard to expand will not stop working for Zhichu because of him. For the franchisees, making money is enough. But even if Shen Guangtou finds other brands to be provincial agents and redevelops the layout, it will take three to two years to stabilize. The peach trees that Shen Guangtou has worked so hard to plant are almost uprooted.
Let's be fair and just. According to the contract, Guangtou Shen is not in the right. First, he did not cooperate with the company in promoting activities. Second, his performance was too poor. Third, the return rate was far higher than the contract agreed.
Lu Yu stretched, raised his arm, and held the watch in front of Wen Baijing, "Mr. Wen, it's time to get off work!" Seeing his noncommittal expression, Lu Yu tilted his head and asked, "You don't have any plans for a while! Shall we have dinner and then go for a foot bath?"
Wen Baijing was somewhat afraid of being idle, because once he was idle, there were always many fragments flashing back and forth in his mind.
After dinner, Wen Baijing and Lu Yu lay on the sofa in the foot massage shop. The sound from the TV always made them feel irritated.
The two beautiful foot masseuses were joking with Lu Yu, and they were all laughing.
They wear delicate makeup, have charming smiles, are very talkative, happily chatting about all sorts of things, and are also good at reading people's expressions.
Wen Baijing closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, with no desire to join them at all.
Only girls like this can thrive in a place where all kinds of people gather.
Ye Zhenzhen, it must be very difficult in that environment! She looked frightened last night...
Wen Baijing's mind flashed through Ye Zhenzhen, and he felt a little uneasy. Why did he think of her?
"Mr. Wen, what are you thinking about?" Lu Yu looked at Wen Baijing, who was smiling bitterly, with some surprise.
"He must be thinking of some beautiful lady!"
“It’s possible!”
Facing the jokes from several people, Wen Baijing forced a smile.
Lu Yu stroked his chin and looked at Wen Baijing with a puzzled look. For someone who is too familiar, even the slightest change can be traced.
In a variety show on TV, a singer was singing and the melody sounded familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere before.
"…the big palm can accommodate my little stubbornness…"
Wen Baijing tilted his head and looked at the TV, trying to remember every word of the lyrics.
Did Ye Zhenzhen sing this song that day because she liked the melody? Or did she like the lyrics? Or was this the kind of love she expected?
He began to wonder what kind of person Ye Zhenzhen was and what kind of story she had.
She is like a silly white rabbit that has accidentally strayed into a dark jungle, always making people worry that she will fall into a trap in the next second.
Thinking of this, Wen Baijing hurriedly got up, pushed the door open and left in three or two steps. Lu Yu sat up from the sofa and called out to his figure.
"Hey! Where are you going?"
